 Yes, indeed. The code currently does not handle empty strings. Missed
 that. Thank you. Unfortunately, adding "if (str.empty())" only works for
 std::string when str_to_() was meant to support C strings and user strings
 as well. After a brief look the change will probably have to go to the
 cnv::range constructor specializations. Let me think about it. I'll
 address it ASAP.

 Thank you,
 Vladimir.
